that and their relationship grew deeper. Through the trials and tribulations of traveling South the father and son’s love for each other triumphed above everything, and through that their love grew. As the father and son traveled south chaos was running about and the father was slipping away from empathy and humanity. The boy had to be that hope for him that carried him through it, and their love kept both of them going, even to the end. In the same way, the portrait of Jesus still hangs on the…

The war on drugs is an ongoing problem in the United States that will never be solved by prohibition. In this country taking things off the shelfs like alcohol and making it illegal to consume like in 1919 when the Eighteenth Amendment was passed will always cause illegal activity. The authors of the Sober Truth who quoted “in 1919, a watershed: the Eighteenth Amendment, enshrining into law a nationwide prohibition on the sale of alcohol.

beautiful place where everyone seems to be dreaming about. The future has been a perfect spot for the movies industry. The constantly human’s need to know what our actions and consequences would bring, have been the base for movies like Her, Silent Running, 2001:Space Odyssey and Stranger Days. Putting all the beautiful visual effects and futuristic graphics aside, movies is the best way to travel in time because they show us a visual representation of an upcoming future. Directors like Stanly…

Before this decade began, prohibition was ratified by the American government in hopes of decreasing crime and violence. Unfortunately, the act had the complete opposite effect and the economy has been crashing down. While unemployment rose, the number of illegal bars increased and because of the shortage of alcohol, mobsters are making easy money by distributing their own home made drink.

One of the ideas of these progressive thinkers was to ban alcohol, which led to prohibition and the 18th amendment. The 18th amendment prohibited the transportation, manufacture, and sale of alcohol. This amendment was passed by congress in December 1917 and ratified in January 1919, but didn’t go into effect until January 20th, 1920. After the 18th amendment was ratified, the Volstead…

During the Second Great Awakening, many social reforms took place, such as the ones for women’s rights, education, and prisons. The temperance movement, or the social movement against the consumption of alcoholic beverages, was also one of the many social movements that took place during this time.

The reason prohibition was so strictly enforced in America, was the result of people overdosing on…

The Running Man by Michael Bauer demonstrates the experiences of marginalising and ‘putting people in boxes’ through the lives of multiple characters in the book. The characters that interpret this idea effectively are Tom Leyton and Joseph Davidson. An outsider is an individual that is often misunderstood, and are considered misfits that are excluded and experience isolation. They are faced with prejudice and the harsh judgement and negative perception from the community. In this novel, Michael…

In this First Page of a Novel, I tried to use both direct and indirect characterization to kind of introduce the readers to the situation and kind of an idea of the main characters.
